A few weeks ago, I announced my new collection of accessories for smartphones, tablets and laptops exclusively for Best Buy. I’m excited to share they have now arrived in stores!
So how did this partnership come to be? No one knows technology and the accessories you need for it like Best Buy, and I know how tricky it can be to find accessories that are both fashionable and functional. So it made sense for us to collaborate.
The goal was bridging the digital gap for families, but the theme was empowerment at Dorsey High School in Los Angeles on Sept. 19.
Several families, with help from Best Buy employees, were trained on basic computer skills and went home with something they didn’t have before – Internet connectivity and a computer.
Best Buy partnered with OurCycle LA, a City of Los Angeles digital inclusion pilot program geared at providing free refurbished computers and training to low-income families in Los Angeles.
Best Buy recently joined forces with two nonprofits in Washington, D.C., to help older adults connect with technology — often for the very first time — with teen mentors by their side.
The company, along with Cyber-Seniors and the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Washington, brought together 30 teens and 23 seniors at the Best Buy Teen Tech Center. The event included a reception and demonstrations led by Best Buy and Geek Squad trainers. Several other employees from area stores volunteered to help out, too, as the event happened during the Best Buy Week of Service.
MINNEAPOLIS – Sept. 15, 2015 – Best Buy Co., Inc. announced today the appointment of Karen McLoughlin to its Board of Directors.

Best Buy has been named to the Dow Jones Index for Sustainable Investing (DJSI) for the fifth consecutive year.
The Index is the official sustainability performance ranking of the largest 600 North American companies. It follows a best-in-class approach to measure and compare companies on environmental, social and corporate governance criteria. Investors around the world use it as a tool to evaluate leadership and make decisions about which companies they want to invest in.
This year, Best Buy increased its ranking in the retail category, scoring in the 88th percentile, 20 points above the average retail company.
With technology playing an increasingly important role in college students’ lives, keeping ahead of the curve is essential for any well-prepared student. That’s why Best Buy helped six college students start their school year off right.
Over the last month, Best Buy gave college students across the country a huge surprise as part of the #BESTCOLLEGE Challenge Contest. Six grand-prize winners, who were chosen based on college tips and advice they submitted online, were visited by a “dorm room on wheels” full of approximately $2,500 worth of the latest and greatest back-to-school products from Best Buy.
Classes are back in session at many U.S. colleges, but according to the National Retail Federation, almost 50 percent of students have completed only half of their Back to School shopping.
Even when all the items are checked off the list, there are bound to be things that got left off.
Don’t worry, Best Buy is here to help with a lineup of the top-10 things you might have forgotten:
1. Ink cartridges: By picking up a few ink cartridges, you’ll never have to stress about faded printing before handing in your papers.
